Chapter 183: The Officials Forced the People to Rebel
Suppressing bandits, no trivial matter.
saved himself that day, and he didn't even say anything about his concern, and on the second day, Lord Belle embarked on the road of suppressing bandits in Hubei with Mingming.
Hui Ran is in the palace, and she can't be idle. Because, Concubine Ying's birthday has arrived.
On the nineteenth day of the first month, there is still the taste of the New Year, and Concubine Ying is very happy.
On the day of his birthday, the Emperor Taishang held a banquet in Cining Palace. After all, it is the position of a concubine, and if it is a big deal, it is not in accordance with the rules.
However, Jiaqing thought it was to express his heart, but he didn't expect the emperor to directly raise the position to the concubine, also known as the perennial harem of the concubine, and gave him the residence in Shoukang Palace.
As we all know, this Shoukang Palace is second only to Cining Palace, and it is also the common residence of the Queen Mother over the years. The hall also hangs the Qianlong Emperor's imperial book "Cishou Ningxi" plaque, between the east and west tips to open up a warm pavilion, the winter warm pavilion is the Buddha hall of the queen mother's daily ritual Buddha.
And the empress dowager of the dynasty, that is, the empress of Qianlong Eniang Xiao Shengxian lived here. Such an arrangement is like the treatment of the Queen Mother.
It's just that Qianlong has the same temperament, who dares to have objections.
Not only that, Qianlong said: "Now the position of the queen mother is vacant, but our Qing Dynasty has always paid attention to the ancestral system of etiquette and filial piety, and you can also come to Shoukang Palace from time to time to ask for peace, and it is not in vain that Concubine Yinggui loves you." ”
Jiaqing took the lead and replied: "Concubine Yinggui's mother must bow to her mother, and she has been in the harem for many years, and she often bothered. Rely on Concubine Yinggui's kindness, raised Yongxuan for many years, and is a model for the harem to learn. The son will often order the harem, and ask for peace in Shoukang Palace every day. ”
The Emperor Taishang nodded with satisfaction, looking at the smoothness of the concubines from the emperor to the harem, it seemed that they were still the same as when they were in power.
Inside the palace walls is a struggle for power, and outside the palace walls is bloody and bloody.
Hubei, Xiaogan.
Yongxuan arrived at the big tent in his military uniform.
"Lord Belle! General Ming is back! ”
With that, Mingliang strode in from outside the tent.
"How?" Yongxuan asked.
Mingliang arrived in Xiaogan three days ago, and in order to find out the news, he entered the city in disguise.
"Back to Lord Beile, Liu Zhixie set up a stronghold in Xiaogan, called the General's Mansion. Anti-Qing notices were posted everywhere in Xiaogan City, and banners were raised to shout that Huang Tian would die, and the sky would be born. This slogan gathered a large number of people for a while. Bright replied.
Yongxuan pondered their slogan carefully and said, "If you chant like this, it will definitely be echoed." ”
"Yes, over the years, the imperial court has increased taxes, and the common people have complained, and when they encounter such rhetoric as the White Lotus Sect, it is inevitable that some people will be tempted." As a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, Mingliang also saw the stakes of the matter.
Yongxuan hammered down the table worriedly, feeling anxious.
"Yes, if it goes on like this......" Yongxuan didn't finish, and everyone present understood what it meant.
It looks like this will be a protracted war, and it will be a hard-fought war.
Xiaogan City.
Liu Zhixie was dressed in coarse cloth and plain clothes, and the trip was not grand, but the people were full of reverence when they saw him.
This general's mansion was originally the residence of a squire and a bully, and the money, silver, rice, and grain collected in it were distributed equally to the common people in the city. After the implementation of such measures, the common people secretly applauded the White Lotus Sect.
On this day, as soon as Liu Zhixie's attendant came out of the door, he was hugged by an unkempt young man.
"Please, sir, save my mother! Xiaomin is willing to be a cow and a horse to repay your kindness! Please~~" I saw the young man holding the squire's leg and refusing to let go.
The attendant was probably accustomed to seeing this kind of disaster, and shook it off in disgust, "Go, go!" Go aside! Don't be an eyesore here! ”
The woman lying next to the boy coughed in pain.
The young man was kicked in the heart, and he didn't care about the pain in his body, so he got up and hurriedly looked at the woman, "Mother! Wake up! Mother~~"
The attendant said to Liu Zhixie with a flattering face.
Seeing a big man come out, the young man cried as if he had grasped a life-saving straw: "My lord, please save my mother!" ”
The attendant was about to shout, but was stopped by Liu Zhixie, "Slow! "Zero-One Reading Network
The young man kowtowed, and kept saying that he was just saving his mother.
Liu Zhixie has seen a lot of victims, but for some reason, this young man wants to help.
"Someone! Carry the woman in, and look for a man. ”
At the command, the woman was carried in.
The young man's eyes were full of tears of gratitude, and he choked up: "Thank you, adult~~"
After about a quarter of an hour, Lang Zhong came out of the house.
Liu Zhixie sat on a chair.
The boy looked like he was thirteen or fourteen, but he was wearing wide clothes and looked really thin.
"Doctor, how is my mother?" The boy asked eagerly.
The doctor didn't know what the relationship between this eldest sister and Lord Liu was, and looked at the young man hesitantly.
The young man was surprisingly bold and determined, and said firmly: "Doctor, she is my mother, you can tell me directly, I can bear it!" ”
The doctor looked at Liu Zhixie again, and Liu Zhixie nodded.
The doctor shook his head and replied to Liu Zhixie: "General, the eldest sister is really in a critical condition, perhaps, with a good recovery, she can last for a year and a half." ”
……
The young man froze in place for a while, and he should have held back his tears.
After the doctor left, the young man kneeled in front of Liu Zhixie.
"Hey, you're here-" Liu Zhixie didn't expect the boy to be like this.
The young man kowtowed heavily and said, "You are Lord Liu Zhixie, I know." Please save my mother, I can do anything! ”
Liu Zhixie really had never met such a persistent child, so he asked with interest: "Then what can you do?" ”
The young man's eyes have never been so clear, "Lord Liu is leading the righteous army, I can kill the enemy!" Go to the front! ”
These words came out of the young man's mouth, which shocked Liu Zhixie, "Do you know what that means?" ”
The young man seemed to see through the cold and warm chuckle of the world, "It means that either the enemy dies or I die......"
Liu Zhixie seemed to see himself, and he couldn't help but have a sense of cultivation for this young man.
"What's your name?"
"Xia Huan."
In the days that followed, the young man practiced martial arts with the rebels.
It's just that, unexpectedly, the unexpected happened.
A few ruffians bullied Xia Huan for being unsociable, and made a bare bare noise to ask him to go into the water with them.
Xia Huan desperately refused, but because of the large number of people, Xia Huan was gradually dragged down.
"You let go of me, let go! Master Liu knows that he will not let you go! Xia Huan glared at a few people angrily.
The people laughed, "Lord Liu? Where can he care about your little white face. ”
After several people dragged Xia Huan into the water, one of them was suddenly surprised to find that this Xia Huan was different from them, and said with a smile: "Hey! It's a! Xia Huan is a girl! No wonder Lao Tzu always thinks he is a scholar. ”
A few people rose up on a whim, "Come! Let the uncles open the meat and teach you what a woman is! ”
Xia Huan cried out heartbreakingly: "Help! Help~~"
